    Yellow Curry
    Gladys P.

    Felt like curry and loved that this place had more choices to select from than I usually see. My son got his usual yellow curry, but I decided to be adventurous and try something new. Had the Massaman Curry with shrimp, loved it! I asked for mild but it still had a little kick to it. Comes with peanuts so beware if you have an allergy. Our server, Sara, was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back.

    I have tried MANY thai restaurants. Second one in Riverside and it was not good. I order pad see ew for pick up. Flavor was not it. It honestly had a weird aftertaste. I'm not sure if the meat was old. I got beef and it is an extra $1 and it was dry and taste old.. It was hardly edible. I just ate all the broccoli and only ate some because I spent $20 on it but I threw away more than half away. For one, it is made with regular broccoli and not chinese broccoli. That should've been the giveaway that it most likely wouldn't taste traditional. I had my partner pick it up for me and told him to ask for crushed pepper a few pickled jalapeños but they said they couldn't give anymore. Lame. The pickled jalapeños made it a little better but i didn't have enough of it. I just gave two stars for effort but unfortunately won't be returning.

    Absolutely love this place! My husband ordered Thai Star BBQ for his company luncheon. 11 dishes- all of which were so delicious. The service was so accommodating and they even threw in a few extras at no cost. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Thai food with great service.

    I came to eat here yesterday during lunch time :) The staff are attentive, sweet, soft-spoken, and friendly! The restaurant is beautiful! We ordered 2 lunch specials and a yellow curry for Togo. The portions were excellent! The food was delicious and will come back again! The staff that took care of us even said "Thank you" in our language, I was surprised she knew we were Korean ! Sorry I didn't eat much of the meal, I am currently going through health issues and have lost my appetite. The food is excellent and I wish I could eat it all!

    I always enjoy coming here for lunch and dinner. We are always greeted and seated right away. There seems to only be one person working the floor but she doesn't miss a beat. She is very friendly and very attentive. There is nothing special about the decor, it looks old and could use some updating, but the food is delicious and that's why I go. This time around my daughter ordered the chicken curry lunch special and I ordered Pad See Ew lunch special. You get a nice amount of delicious food.

    They make you feel like you're home, the food is exceptional, they always ask how spicy you like it, which I find so satisfying, my family lives eating here! Thank you for your service Thai Star Bbq.

    Mango sticky rice. Mango is big enough but not sweet. Sticky rice is okay. Presentation could be better.

    Pad see ew. Taste okay, i really want to like this place because its close to my house. but i lost my appetite because one of server smells bad(armpit). I stop eating my food while she passed me. I really want to enjoy my dinner but i cant. After 2 times she passed me, i decided to go and took picture as proof i was eating here. Manager/ owner please help your worker, i dont know what happent to her, but she need helps!! I talked to Sarah/ other server about it. I am really disappointed tonight.

    Pad Thai NOT SPICY. Not what I had requested

    I asked for hot(spicy) it was not. I requested extra peanuts. Didn't get I asked for white rice. Didn't get it. Do you even read customer's requests?

    Wow I know this place has been all over TikTok so I expected it to be busy, but it was still crazy…read moreseeing a wait! I remember coming here a few years ago when the restaurant wasn't even full. Well deserved Pan Dumpling House! The food was good! I ordered the liang pi cold noodles and a pork burger. Both were absolutely delicious! The liang pi cold noodles are perfect if you're craving something refreshing, and if you want something meaty to go with it, definitely get the pork burger too! This is my usual go-to combo. Highly recommend checking out Pan Dumpling House! If you don't want to wait in line, ordering pickup is also a great option.

    I was surprised by how big the portions are, like you could buy a plate of rice or noodles and…read moreeasily share it with 4 people, which justifies the price since it is a little expensive. I spent around $77 including tip which was 2 drinks, an appetizer, and 3 main plates. Actually, they don't have just a side of fried rice, so we were forced to buy it as a main plate. Everything tastes good. I just finished my leftovers and I'm already craving the noodles since they were so soft. The restaurant is clean and modern with big windows and an outdoor patio. If it weren't so hot (We came on a 100F day) it looked like a nice place to eat under the umbrellas. I accidentally spilled a jar of hot sauce which for some reason had a loose removable lid and one of the waitresses was quick to clean it up for us. She was nice about it, too, like she could've easily copped an attitude with us about it, but didn't. A man next to us said he accidentally did the same thing which makes me think they need to find a different container for that sauce. There's a huge parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. However, the area directly in front of the restaurant and the other shops near it were sectioned off with yellow caution tape for some reason and my sister said it looked like a murder scene, which made me laugh. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case, but I don't know why they did it. The only reason I knew the restaurant was open for business was because I saw people eating inside through the windows.

    Did a take out order. Hot and sour soup was good and…read moreeggplant green beans with garlic chili sauce was delicious. Food was ready and hot when I picked it up.

    I really was surprised on this, our second visit. Our first time had been a couple years ago and…read morewas not a good enough experience to make me return. I didn't even bother to write a review at that time, but had submitted five photos, some good, others not, that told the tale. So this time, with some trepidation, we gave them a second chance. Glad we did. This time was different. Two dishes, the black bean ribs and the salt & pepper pork chops, turned out great. Not only did they have good flavor, both dishes were quite generous and meaty. And if we had stopped ordering right there, I wouldn't have had any reason to drop a star. It was the dim sum that almost ruined it. The siu mai (8 pcs) were small and oddly fishy tasting, lacking the traditional aromatics. One bite and I knew there was no way I would continue eating them. No reason to bring them home either. Was I willing to just throw away my $13? No. Disappointed, I bravely told the server, and then, the manager. I got a "deer in the headlights" response, followed with a "what's wrong with it" query. Awkward moment. But, minutes later, the server returned from the back kitchen, and the most miraculous, unexpected thing happened. She said they would take it off my bill! Honestly, I was not expecting any resolution. But in wisely doing this, they frankly rescued the situation and my attitude. I respected that one gracious gesture. So, while the siu mai will still never be anything I order here, there is a vast menu to explore, and a few dishes I already know will not let me down. Two of these were from our first time, the char siu baos and the shrimp with scrambled egg. These were good. That said, this is a decent business that proved they wanted my business. We will come back.
